All the Same
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
All the same, we’re all the same,
So, tell me who do we have to blame?
Who plants a lemon tree,
And peaches spring forth from it?
Every eye shall see Him
When in glory He cometh.
You believe a lie, I know the truth.
And if you like I’ll give you proof.
You speak His name and so do I,
But when you speak it you begin to die.
You use it to curse and not to bless,
Why shouldn’t you expect to receive a big mess?
You’re cursing men, but God all the same,
So, for your trouble who is there to blame?
Jesus Christ is God, there is no other,
Stop using His name to curse your brother!
